Best Areas of Brighton & Hove To LIVE?

st aubyns, Hove

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The BEST address I ever had in Brighton was 53 Old Steine - top floor flat, next door to Marlborough House, free off-street parking in front of the building.

Handy for EVERYTHING.

Portslade is a bit of a winner for me. Nice old village, right on the downs, right near the beach, good transport links into town

..oh and it's pretty cheap compared with most places...

Give over. You live where Mile Oak borders Southwick.

 

[Mendoza]

Hanover and Preston Park winning by the slightest of margins
Not bad places to live at all, I cant decide between Brighton and Hove

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Kemp town... cos thats where I used to live

Mr Kempton from Kemptown... absolutely true!!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

positively encourages bbq's .

Wait until Mrs Mears' BBQ Stasi get on the case. You must be next on the list.

Fun, we cannot have this. Let's not smile and let's oppose anything new as we prefer to wrap Brighton and it's supposed wide-spread Regency seafront up in sepia and cotton wool.

I'll tell you one place you have left off that list, Brettles.

The area between Preston Circus and Ditchling Road near London Road Station. It's a decent place provided you don't need a car.

Queens Park OWNS Hanover, so we get the best of both worlds. Loadsa pubs and a nice park

Queens Park was the best place to play footie anyway in the part of town... unless you wanted to slog down to East Brighton Park...

... that or climb over the wall to the hockey pitches opposite St Mary's (which have now, sadly, gone)

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Tubthumper Towers is the best place to live. You can grill 'til your heart is content.

Hanover a front runner at the moment. It's always been a popular place, but you couldn't pay me enough to move up there - no matter how good the pubs are it's all steep hills and people living on top of each other. It may not be fashionable, but give me a house with a garden in spacious Hollingdean any day over Hanover.

 

[Mackenzie]

Kemp Town is where its at

Queens Park is equally awesome

Indeed, even more so, as Im looking at a place there this week

Who voted for Whitehawk I wonder?.

The only part of Brighton where house prices are affordable. All the ex council houses in Bevendean , Moulscoomb and Hollingdean that come up for sale are aimed at the student lettings market and command a premium price.

 

[pompeydel]

ahh...Bevendean those balmy summer days, the gentle pace of life growing up amongst the rolling hills and idyllic settings of the Hyde Industrial Estate What a childhood

 

[Gwylan]

Coldean for me. I absolutely love it here.

It's quiet in the evenings, you can actually see the stars at night, from my back garden I can see the Downs, from the front I can see the Great Wood. I've got snakes, slow worms, frogs in my garden and countless birds. The people are friendly, it's walking distance to a great, little school and within 20 minutes you're out in the country. If the Hikers sold decent beer, it would be perfect.

I'm a big fan of Hanover, Kemp Town and Queen's Park all of which I am proud to have called home over the years.

HOWEVER I wouldn't go so far as to say that anywhere within the triangle of the three neighbourhoods is good as there are some shitty bits like the area around Tarner Road and Albion Hill.

My new Kemp Town pad is very lovely though and I have everything here I could ever need. The Hand in Hand has proved to be a most excellent local

 

[Don Quixote]

Brighton and Hove border

f***ing scum.

 

[Tulip]

Fiveways or Brunswick for me.

Fiveways is more affordable though and I bought my first place there a year ago

Fiveways has got to be one of the most desirable locales in Brighton and Hove and as such can't be that affordable I wouldn't have thought.
